How long is a FOID card valid from the date of issuance?

  1. 5 years

  2. 10 years

  3. 1 year

  4. 3 years

The correct answer is: 10 years

A FOID card is valid for 10 years from the date of issuance. This is the most appropriate answer because it is the longest amount of time among the given options, providing the longest validity period for the card. The other options, such as 5 years, 3 years, and 1 year, are incorrect as they provide shorter durations of validity and therefore cannot be the correct answer.
